THE JORNADA POSTING
A Dead Sheriff's Badge. A Stolen Mountain. The Man Who Couldn't Ride Away.By Hank Mercer
Length4h 34m
About this audiobook
Silver came out of the San Andres Mountains in 1861, and four hundred men followed it into Caldera — a boomtown wedged between a dead canyon and the desert the Spanish named honestly: the Journey of the Dead Man.
Former Army scout Caleb Doss came to buy a mule. He found the first sheriff three days dead in a mine shaft, and within a week he wore the badge — because no one else could read the sign, and no one else was stubborn enough to follow it. He doesn't want the job. The job doesn't consult him.
What he inherits sits above three catastrophes: a federal judge stealing every silver claim in the territory, an Apache war leader raiding camps over poisoned water, and a Confederate army massing in Texas to take New Mexico.
Then comes Marisol Vega — schoolteacher, daughter of a land grant older than American law — who's read the situation since before he arrived. She wants a man who knows the difference between what the law says and what justice requires. The Jornada won't wait.
